I also hate the to-ing and fro-ing of hms.. People walking, new replacements, surprise newbies, dounle/quadruple evictions.. You hardly get to really know some of them. I REALLY want them to simplify it thisyear and put 10/12/14/however many hms in then evict one a week like they used to do.. No twists or manipulating the results. Just the least liked housemate evicted!
Cheers, Doll!

In a way I think BB10 tried to do that and that's why the producers didn't interfere too much (but when it did it was awful decisions such as Kenneth, Isaac, magazine scandal). The problem with the HMs in BB10 was that they were still characters. You had Siavash (Rasputin!), Angel (WTF?) and Marcus (Wolverine!) and from the moment they entered the house they were judged for being weird.

BB11's lot were a lot more normal in comparison. Once you get over the shock of Steve not having any legs or that he has 1 eye he was very normal. The only 3 people I'd say that appeared as 'characters' on launch night were Shabby (which she was), Corin (Jordan wannabe) and Dave (monk!) whilst Mario was made to wear the mole outfit. Take off the costumes and they're suddenly normal people.

The thing that worries me about BB on Channel 5 is that apparently Desmond still wants a 13 week BB12 but reportedly with normal HMs again. Because it'll be so soon after the 4 week CBB I'm kinda worried it'll drag on and be too boring and so they'll inevitably have to rely on the same old tricks even if 5 won't be as watered down as Channel 4's later days
